[C] Frankie and Johnny were lovers, oh how they could [C7] love    
They [F] promised to be true to each other, true as the stars a[C]bove    
He was her [G7] man, he wouldn’t do her no [C] wrong [F] [C]    
{c: } 
[C] Frankie went down to the corner, to get a pint of  [C7] beer    
She [F] asked that old bartender, “has my lovin’ Johnny been [C] here?”    
He’s my [G7] man, he wouldn’t do me no [C] wrong [F] [C]    
{c: } 
[C] Well, I ain’t gonna tell you no story, ain’t gonna tell you no [C7] lie    
He’s [F] here bout’ an hour ago with a gal named Nelly [C] Blie    
He may be your [G7] man, but he’s doin’ you [C] wrong [F] [C]    
{c: } 
[C] Frankie went down to the hotel, didn’t go there for [C7] fun    
Under [F] neath her red kimono, she was packin’ a 44 [C] gun    
To shoot her [G7] man, cause he’s doin’ her [C] wrong [F] [C]    
{c: } 
[C] Johnny took off his Stetson hat, Said, “Baby please don’t [C7] shoot!”    
She put her [F]finger on the trigger and the gun went Blooty- [C] Too!    
She killed her [G7] man, cause he was doin’ her [C] wrong [F] [C]    
{c: } 
[C] That’s the end of my story, that’s the end of my [C7] song    
They got [F] Frankie in the county jail and the gal’s been there so [C] long    
She killed her [G7] man, cause he was doin’ her [C] wrong [F] [C]    
{c: } 
She killed her [G7] man, cause he was doin’ her [C] wrong [F] [C]
